Getting to know you . . .

[Alcy]

Oh man, I grew up in the eighties so there is no end to the bad outfits that I wore, flurescent green lycra bike shorts? with a purple sweater and jelly sandals? Hmmm, a polka dot dress with a tight black underskirt and a frilly skirt over the top with puffed sleeves and a pink polka dot headband...I could go on of course. Hey, it was the eighties, I loved everything at the time and damn I was cool!

What is your favourite game (PC, PS2, Xbox, boardgame, whatever)?

[dlline]

Resident Evil 4 (Gamecube)

What's the strangest thing you ever did "for love?"

[Alcy]

I've done a bunch of really strange things but the one I can think about now is arriving home from a night out, a wee bit intoxicated, my loved one wanted candy with a fierce burning desire and being that we had none in the house I decided to cycle to an all night petrol station and buy some.
Said petrol station was half an hour's bike away and it started raining.

The guy behind the counter must have thought I was a wacko because when I got home (after delivering said candy to a very appreciative loved one) I saw that my mascara had run something awful. I looked a fright!

Who is your favourite artist?

[JujuDeRoussie]

Salvador Dali..


What is your favorite kind of painting (impressionism, cubism... )

[umgaynow]

I could no sooner choose a favorite child...but lets say Florentine or Flemish renaissance masters...there's nothing so luminous and lush as a Vermeer, but I adore my Italian boys...Leonardo in particular but pretty much the whole style of that time and place...is that an obtuse enough answer?

Favorite actor and actress from the Golden Age of Hollywood ('30s-40s' & early 50s)?

[gorn]

Bing Crosby, particularly the Road pictures he did with Bob Hope.

If you were Emperor or Empress of Rome, what's the first truly wacky thing you'd do once you went insane?

[Zooeys_Bridge]

Oh god. My friend(a classics major) Colleen was giving me the rundown of Caligula. Fun stuff.

Anyway, I'd probably suggest that all chickens shall be headless after 9 months.

If you were a German barbarian circa 484, what would your name be?

[gorn]

Gornicus Thursdayar
(and Zooeys_Bridge - if you are the supreme Imperator of the known world, you don't have to suggest, you Dictate!)


On a similar theme, how would you die in the arena?

[JujuDeRoussie]

I wouldn't die in the arena, because I would have had magic potion like Astérix


And it would be the Caesar's shame.


What edifice would you make built at your own glory is you were an Emperor?

[satinpaper]

A Kitten Forum Maximus

(Well, in Romanian, message boards are called "forums". So, it's kind of funny... if you are Romanian... )

Do you floss?

[hondos]

At least once a decade..

Do you paint your toenails....

[Foomatic]

Nope.

Describe your typical work day.

[Paint the Sky]

Get into work about 7.50am, put on steel toe-capped boots. Start work at 8am. Work a little, skive a little. Go to shop to buy chocolate, eat chocolate while drinking coffee and do the daily quiz in the paper with a workmate. Go back to my gardening duties, mulching rose beds today. Bitch about having to do manual labour. Have lunch, work some more, take off the now smelly boots and go home at 4pm.

You get a night at home to yourself, just you all on your ownsome. How do you spend it?

[Zooeys_Bridge]

Mmmm. I probably would tidy up if the mood strikes. Then I'd order take out, start a fire(given the wintry-ness of now), get a blanket, then surround myself with books, movies, a computer, tea, and see which one strikes my fancy.

If you could go back and re-do anything from yesterday, what would it be?

[Foomatic]

I would have definitely drank more water through out the day and had a banana before working out. Hard to box with a charley horse in both legs.


In detail, describe your very first kiss.

[umgaynow]

It was bad...really bad...really really bad...very bad indeed...terrible...it was with a guy.

If you could sleep with any character (not the person who plays the role, the character) on Lost who would you choose and why?

[Zooeys_Bridge]

geez, I don't think I'd go so far with anyone. But I really liked Charlie as a human being. He's got his flaws, but really? What a guy.

What was the last actual, physical CD you bought? iTunes doesn't count

[Paint the Sky]

I bought a Goldfrapp cd, possibly Supernature, for a friend's birthday ages ago. Last one I bought for myself was so long ago I can't even remember what it was.

What movie always makes you cry?

[JujuDeRoussie]

Roberto Benigni's Life is Beautiful.

I have seen it dozens of time, yet it always makes me cry.


How old are you?

[Foomatic]

Geez, 29 in April.


Why did you break up with your last girlfriend/boyfriend?

[kisstheviolets]

well, this question could be asking about the end of one's last relationship, or the last one the respondent ended. we'll go with the latter (99.9 of my relationships ended in me being the dumpee).

a couple of years ago i dated a woman we will refer to as BBJ. she was smart and a little offbeat but i thought i'd give it a go. but after a week of her excessive quirks, strange voices, inappropriate curtseying, and all-around oddness, i wanted to end things. my lovely friends, however, had me convinced that i was just trying to find things wrong with her as part of my self-sabotaging pattern. but she really drove me crazy. just an odd girl. and i wasn't very physically attracted to her. six weeks into it i saw her bedroom for the first time (our makeout had been stuck at the level of 12-year-olds, which was strange for me, a second-date kind of girl) and she had LOTR posters and action figures and all of my worst suspicions about her were confirmed. not wanting to tell her that i was dumping her because she was an un-cute geek with a huge ass, i told her that we were clearly at different levels of our sexual development and while i wished her well with it, i was at a place in life where i didn't want to have to walk someone through it by the hand. of course, she told her softball team (which was a rival of my softball team in the same league) that i dumped her because she didn't put out. sigh.

what's a major dealbreaker for you in a new relationship?

[glokenpop baby]

Smoking in bed. It just makes me ill. Smoking is okay, just don't do it around me and don't do it after.. that.

Sticking with the love.. or lack of. (;

Ever had a one night stand? where did you meet etc?

[jay/wt4evr]

had four one-night stands, first party, second met through friends of mine, third and fourth on holiday
I regret evryone of them but they helped me making experience and fighting my fears of sex

what do you think of one-night stands

[kisstheviolets]

i didn't have my first real one until last year (tho i'd tried over the years, but you know how lesbians are... you tell them it's just physical and afterwards they ask when you're getting married) and it was a great experience. a smart, hot, sexy woman in town for business... drinks, hysterically amusing conversation, more drinks and one thing led to another. it was fun, respectful, and just what i needed at the time (rebounding without hurting someone). so i'm all about it. is it something i would do all the time? probably not. i like dating and getting to know someone. must be an old age sort of thing... i've become a fifth date sort of girl, rather than the first or second of my youth

were you ever married to someone of a gender different from the one you currently date? what's the sitch?

[Paint the Sky]

Ok, I'll jump in and answer this one.

Yep, married for 22yrs to a guy. Now separated cos I finally admitted to myself that I wanted something different, although that's not the only reason. Been 'single' for roughly 9 months, and living alone for the first time ever in my life, and it's been a big adjustment. Not dating anyone, I'm not sure I'd know where to start. Not even sure I want a relationship, I like the flirty thing but never follow through.

Arg!! It's like true confessions.

What's the kinkiest thing you've ever done? Alone or with some-one else, the choice is yours.

[kisstheviolets]

i'm going to take a small swipe at this just to get the thread back up....

so, i can't actually write about the kinkiest, cause, well, a girl's got to have her secrets. but a fairly naughty experience involved an ex-girlfriend in her old cheerleading uniform from high school, a swingset in a deserted park and the grip end of a pom pom. my first major girl-crush was a cheerleader friend of mine and that ex-girlfriend was a dear for indulging my pervy old lady fantasies

have you ever been arrested? details, please!

[dlline]

I once heard those fateful words, "you have the right to remain silent," when I was in the Air Force in 1984. Apparently, the military doesn't like it when they find weed in your locker.

Speaking of which: have you ever smoked pot?

[Foomatic]

The first time I smoked pot, it was an accident. My partner had rolled some up in cigarettes, and mistakenly gave me one of them instead of a regular. We're having a bonfire, at the beach, and everyone keeps wondering why I'm laughing hysterically at the sand. It wasn't until later I found out that it was spiked. And I've been hooked ever since. Kidding. Kidding. Sort of.


Describe the first time you got drunk. What you drank, who you were with . . . the whole nine.

[dorksrcool]

The first time I got drunk was in 7th grade (we get started early in Wyoming). I was with a couple of girls that I wasn't really friends with but for some reason we ended up together after hanging out at a park all day. My mom and dad were at work so we went to my place and started drinking the liquor in their cupboards. We drank vodka, whiskey, brandy, rum, even some Bailey's Irish Cream. We were drinking out of plastic cups and then we put water back into the bottles so my parents wouldn't notice. Needless to say I puked my guts out that day. That was probably the worst hangover i ever had.

Are you more infatuated with Amber Benson or Alyson Hannigan? Please explain.

[writerfreak]

Definitely Amber Benson. Can't much explain why, its just something about the eyes that get me. And the fact that she is never afraid to be just who she is. I like that in a girl.

By the way, yes this means I'm back.

What is the one website besides Kittenboard that you are most addicted to?
